Bois d'Ascèse by Naomi Goodsir, bottle in its open box

The story of Bois d'Ascèse

Bois d'Ascèse is an eau de parfum signed by Julien Rasquinet for Naomi Goodsir, a smoky woody fragrance inspired by the contemplative calm of an isolated chapel.

Whisky and cinnamon open the composition, a heart of incense and cistus labdanum rises, then cade wood, oakmoss, tobacco and amber unfold a dry, resinous sillage.
